Technofeudalism. Great book by Yanis Varoufakis. He called it and it’s actually happening.

Pihole+unbound, navidrome for your music. Tailscale for remote connection to your music. Setup your own photo library with immich. An invidious instance

That’s why HDMI needs to die and display port needs to take over. The TV industry is too big for that to happen of course. They make a shit ton of money off of HDMI

Good to know. Thank you for posting this.

Needs root. Many manufacturers have locked their bootloaders. Even pixel when you buy it through the carrier. I don’t buy shit carriers anymore, but when they give out a completely free phone, I’m taking that shit. lol

My own DNS is still up and strong. Take that, Cloudflare.

Yup. Fuck google.

I’m going to be the asshole here. And? If I’m not getting paid, then why should I care? It’s a hobby project that I made for fun in my free time. Unless this is my living then, I’d understand what you’re saying.

If I had an open source program that is being used by fuckers like Google, who can afford to pay but don’t, and then come in and demand shit. I’d just ignore them and pretend they don’t exist and continue with my life. Let them bark until they’re blue in the face. But first I’d put this as the first line in the README.md “if you’re a big corporation and need help, come with money. Otherwise, please don’t bother me”.

inv.perditum.com and piped.private.coffee are working great for me in addition to my own

Ok, thank you. I’m going to check those two out and see. Much appreciated

RetroArch is…… I don’t want to insult the developers for their hard work. I always appreciate FOSS, but man god damn it wtf is this thing? I’m going to look up the other two you’ve mentioned. Tried Nestopia and it’s the one that didn’t recognize my controller

Thanks. RetroArch is too much for such a small game. I’ll just go the browser route then I guess

That community is blocked on my instance. lol. Time to create a new account I guess.

I have the ROM. Tried nestopia, and it’s the one that didn’t work with my controller no matter what I tried.

Thanks for the link. I already have the ROM.

Damn. That’s a great piece of info. I didn’t know about this stuff until I moved to the US. lol. Thank you for the education of course.

Yup. You press the same number as many times as you need. If the whole word is under 5 then the number is all 5s. lol. I’m not originally from the US myself and just learned this a couple of years ago. Never seen it anywhere else but the US.

You just press the number that has the letter, regardless of if the letter was in the beginning or the end, you just press the number wherever that letter is.

I use the GE-Proton-Latest and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. It feels like it’s making everything else obsolete (unless of course you need an older version)
